The Florists' Review 



OCTOBDB 28. 1018. 



understood the official is in error who 

 is quoted as saying catalogues under 

 eight ounces in weight will be unaf- 

 fected. It will increase the existing 

 flat rate on printed books, pamphlets, 

 catalogues and similar printed matter, 

 when mailed in parcels up to four 

 ounces weight, full 100 per' cent. W. 

 Atlee Burpee states that his postage 

 on 400,000 catalogues will be increased 

 from 4 to 12 cents for a large part of 

 the edition. Three other catalogue 

 firms stated that the proposed regula- 

 tion would entail a loss of $80,000 in 

 their business. It was pointed out that, 

 with the existing low rate for such 

 matter under the postal union laws, 

 Canadian and English printers could 

 print catalogues for American firms 

 and mail them to all parts of the 

 United States at lower rates than the 

 American printers. James L. Cowles, 

 of the Postal Progress League, filed a 

 long protest in which he pointed to a 

 long list of increases that the cata- 

 logue houses will have to stand if the 

 proposed change is made, the most im- 

 portant of which "increase the exist- 

 ing rate 100 per cent on books weigh- 

 ingup to four ounces." 



W. F. Therkildson, chairman of the 

 committee on postal affairs of the 

 American Seed Trade Association, has 

 bent his efforts for the last few days 

 largely to securing the assistance of 

 the printers' organizations and caused 

 large numbers of them to join in the 

 protest, saying: "I can think of no 

 better way to defeat this than to line 

 up the printers, who are the ones, sup- 

 posedly, who are to be benefited." 



LOS ANGELES SEED NOTES. 



The outlook for business was never 

 brighter than at present. The hun- 

 dreds of new residences going up, not 

 only in this city but in all the sur- 

 rounding small towns and settlements, 

 create a demajid that is practically con- 

 stant the year around for all classes of 

 seeds and roots, both flower and vege- 

 table. Then, the florists' business has 

 increased so much in the last few years 

 that all classes of seeds, bulbs and 

 plants for forcing are in better de- 

 mand than ever. There is not likely 

 to be any let-up in this, either, when 

 as many as 8,000 people arrive in Los 

 Angeles in one day, as occurred on a
